Fallen Son: Wolverine and Fallen Son: Avengers
I'm not planning to get all of this set--actually, I think I'm getting all but one (the Spiderman issue). My first thought was that, wow, for the concept they're using this is quite a bit less contrived than I expected it to be! So that's a plus.
The Wolverine issue (denial) had better story. Well, it had story. I'm not a big Wolverine fan and I've never followed Daredevil at all, and since I'd already seen the entire Winter Soldier bit in the previews there wasn't much for me here in terms of characters I'm interested in. But overall a decent book.
The Avengers issue (anger) had a lot less story, but I don't mind a character-driven comic once in a while, and this one wasn't bad. I've never followed Spider-Man either, but I do like most of the other New Avengers (and many of the Mighties). It was all right. Some good scenes, particularly in the New Avengers section. The Mighty Avengers parts were less compelling.
So, my thoughts on this series thus far? Readable, but not exciting. Annoying that this is why Captain America missed a month or two. Nothing I'm thrilled to have, but I'm not upset at having spent the money. I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone who isn't a completist, honestly.
We'll see how the rest goes next month.
Marvel heroes who have never interested me: the aforementioned Spider-Man and Daredevil. The Hulk. Thor. The Silver Surfer, and pretty much anyone cosmic (apart from Captain Marvel on occasion). I will say that not caring for Spider-Man at any point, and having burnt out on the X-Men back in the 90s, I spend a lot less on comics than I could!
